IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-BEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 131,600, datedSeptember 24, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

'Be it known that 1, WILLIAM O. ORooKER, of Laconia, in the county ofBelknap and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Egg-Beater, of which the following is a specification:

Figure l is a detail side view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a detailcross-section of the same taken through the line 00 00, Fig. 1.

bimilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved device forbeating eggs, butter, &o., churning small quantities of cream, and forother similar purposes, and which shall be simple in construction,convenient in use, and effective in operation, doing its work quicklyand well; and it consists in the construction and combination of variousparts of the device, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is a small frame, upon the upper end of which is formed a handle. afor convenience in holding it while being used. Upon the lower end ofthe frame A is formed an outwardly inclined arm, a having a notch formedin its lower end to adapt it to rest upon the edge of the dishcontaining the substance to be operated upon. If desired, severalnotches maybe formed in the lower part of the arm a to adapt it to beused with different-sized dishes. Upon the middle part of the frame A isformed, or to it is attached, a gudgeon, B, upon which is placed awheel, 0, to which is attached, or upon which is formed, a crankpin orhandle, D, by which the machine is operated. Upon the inner side of therim of the wheel 0 are formed gear-teeth, into which mesh the teeth ofthe small gear-wheels E F. The gear-wheel E is placed at the upper partof the wheel 0, and is attached to the upper end of the rod or wire G,which revolves in bearings formed to receive it in the frame A. To thelower end of the rod G are attached Wires H, so arranged as to form abeater. Upon the rod G is placed the gear-wheel F,

in such a Way that its teeth may mesh into the teeth of the wheel 0 atits lower part. The wheel F revolves loosely upon the rod G, and is keptfrom slipping down upon the said rod by a pin, collar, or otherconvenient means. I is a narrow strip of thin sheet metal, in the middlepart of which is formed a hole to receive the lower end of the rod G.The lower part of the strip I is bent into a loop, and its sides arebent or made flaring in opposite directions, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.The arms or end parts of the strip I pass up upon the opposite sides ofthe rod G, and their ends are attached to the lower side of the wheel F.The strip I may be of uniform width, or some parts of it may be widerthan others.

By this construction, when the wheel 0 is revolved the wheels E F andtheir respective beaters G, H, and I will be revolved in oppositedirections. The tendency of the revolving interior beater G H is tothrow the substance being operated upon outward, and the tendency of theouter beater I, from its peculiar form, is to throw it inward, so thatthe inner beater may operate more effectively upon it.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent-- l. The outer beater I, formed of sheet metal, andhaving its sides flared in opposite directions, in combination with theinner beater H, the same being connected with the mechanism, asspecified, so as to be driven in re verse directions, as set forth.

2. The combination, with the beater, of the downwardly-extended arm aprovided with a notch, as specified, whereby said beater may besupported on the edge of the dish containing the material to be operatedon, as set forth.

WILLIAM O. OROOKER.
